After a decade of relative quiet, the federal authorities has ramped again up its efforts to regulate the US meals provide, and eradicate any gamers and choices that received’t absolutely embrace the company authorities collusion that has outlined the US meals and farming sector for six many years.
Shopping for golf equipment are having product siezed and destroyed. Farmers markets are seeing a large enhance in inspections and harassment of artisans and native producers.
Farmers in all places face a number of latest rules, guidelines, and applications meant to additional enrich the meat packers and different middlemen whereas taking more cash out of their pockets.
And lest you suppose householders with egg-laying chickens received’t be focused, suppose once more.
The federal government is already demanding registration of even one yard rooster within the UK, and the unique Nationwide Animal Identification System (NAIS) in the US required the identical of city homesteaders. (1, 2)
This time…again for what could also be its fifth try…the USDA is as soon as once more making an attempt to roll out radio digital radio frequency ID tags for livestock with the sneaky rebranding from NAIS (a decade in the past) to RFID.
Why RFID?
Business entrance teams say we want RFID for higher transparency (these from people who use processing services with no home windows and meat comprised of 500 cows!) and to have the ability to reply rapidly to illness outbreaks throughout the nation.
In actuality, the rationale they need RFID is that it’ll give them higher management over the farmers who’ve little selection however to promote into the commercial meat commodity system.
At present, 4 to 5 corporations management 80% or extra of beef, pork, and rooster in the US.
They would like that quantity to be a minimum of 100%, and RFID is one other strategy to power farmers to play their recreation by their guidelines and push out smaller operations.
First they monitor the animals… then they monitor the individuals
RFID is a component of a bigger, long-term purpose for governments and well-connected firms to trace all human habits, to allow them to revenue from it.
Just like the push for a single digital foreign money, the push for RFID would then permit:
- The flexibility to impose limits and quotas on animal raisings and compelled cullings like we’re seeing in
Europe and different nations underneath the justification of local weather change (you may have too many cows,
sheep, and goats producing too many emissions, so you could increase much less animals!) - Extra stringent enforcement of vaccines and the power to power the adoption of mRNA and comparable
vaccines by farmers so as to have the ability to put their animals into the processing chain. - Skill to simply cull animals in areas and areas underneath the pretense of illness outbreaks like chicken
flu utilizing phony PCR testing outcomes. - Full and complete surveillance of the complete US meat provide.
As Catherine Austin Fitts, former Underneath Secretary of the US Division of Commerce has acknowledged, animal ID and digital foreign money ID are a precursor to the most important purpose of all – common human RFID and monitoring.
Whereas this sounds outlandish, one of many earlier variations of the RFID program – NAIS (the nationwide animal ID system) – included a 1-800 quantity that farmers have been required to name inside 24 hours of any animal motion outdoors the designated property boundaries.
A real “why did the rooster cross the highway” query, besides the USDA didn’t care why… simply when and the place, and in case you did not comply, lots of to hundreds of {dollars} of fines have been to comply with.
With the expansion of web and different applied sciences, the telephone quantity is not wanted, as the federal government (and firms who get entry to the information…) would know 24/7 the place all of the animals have been and what farmers and homesteaders have been as much as.
A lot of that is additionally tied to the push to get individuals to undertake meatless meats, which to date have been, regardless of billions of {dollars} of investmenet, advertising and marketing, and authorities manipulation, an enormous flop.
As we’re seeing in Europe and components of the US, there’s a actual push…with massive cash behind it…to create a completely meatless, even animal-free, meals system.
By bugs, via “plant primarily based meats,” no matter it takes, something however letting individuals devour nutrient dense animal merchandise raised naturally on pasture!
What We Can Do to Cease RFID
In case you are a farmer or homesteader, be part of the tens of hundreds of us who’ve pledged to it doesn’t matter what, not comply, like Congressman Thomas Massie of KY, who raises grass-fed beef.
Second, take a second to contact your senators and consultant and ask them to cosponsor and assist Rep. Harriet Hageman’s invoice, Modification 10, to cease EID/RFID. (3)

Additionally, ask your consultant to assist Rep. Hageman’s H.J.Res.167 decision which disapproves the rule submitted by the Division of Agriculture referring to “Use of Digital Identification Eartags as Official Identification in Cattle and Bison”. (4)
Third, think about becoming a member of Congresswoman Hageman, Joel Salatin, John Moody, and others at Rogue Meals TX in November 2024 or Florida in March 2025, the place we can have a particular give attention to stopping RFID, the chicken flu nonsense getting used to harass uncooked milk farmers, and extra, and assist us ship a message to the USDA that we’re able to struggle to guard our farmers and meals provide.
